5. I'm glad to hear it, because we need BIG action that will take bold, tough leading
We're not out of the economic woods, and even when we do "recover" so far we're on a path to return right back to the same broken status quo of the business elite dominating and exploiting the commons, communities, and individual workers and contributing to the ever-escalating income gap and poverty numbers worse than they were three decades ago.

We're going to need toughness and the expenditure of political capital to revive EFCA - its not a "sexy" subject to a lot of people, but its probably one of the single most important pieces of legislation we could have passed right now. It's one of many keys to starting to restore a sane, sustainable economic structure rather than the plunder capitalist regime that has been driving us down for the last 30+ years.
